Now Oscar will have to clean the fridge again.

When this project started i really did not see the submarine reveal coming. (Why does youtube bother shadow banned comments, kinda pathetic.)

I'm so pissed that this happened. I've been following the boat build ever since the very first video. I feel so sad that after all that effort, money and time spent, the boat sank. I can only imagine how you feel. I'm soory man.

As a boat owner who’s had to witness their childhood boat get washed away in a brutal storm some years back, I express sincere sympathy for you with the sinking of this amazing boat. I’ve watched the series from the start and it’s really sad to see this. Hopefully you get it out and damage isn’t too severe and you can try bring it back to life once more.

Sometimes when I'm driving over the bridge to work I see your boat, and I'm like, hey cool that's B is for Builds yacht.. then the other day as it's pouring rain I noticed it not there and thought to myself, what a horrible day to go on a boat ride. This explains a lot.

sell it then get a friend who has a boat to keep enjoying boat stuff.

Marlon! Gotta keep the bilge warm during these freezing temps. Had 6 boats go down in our marina. All from frozen seacocks.

Saddest thing I've seen on the internet. Worst part is this was one of my favorite builds you guys did. My heart goes out to you for your loss. 🤝

Look it in a brighter side...now you can put the yacht over the Ram 3500 frame, and make a one of the kind camper.

I'm gutted for you mate, I really enjoyed the refurbishment of this vessel. Hopefully we will see her fully sea worthy again one day.

Breaks my heart. Amazing how positive you are

I’ve really enjoyed your boat content, you did an amazing job on it. As a boat guy myself I totally feel for you.

Chris, I obviously know you've been through worse, but your relentless positivity and level headedness is a true inspiration. Thank you for just being a truly great human and an example to us all.

Two best days of Chris's life - the day he got his yacht, and the day it sank

WOW - So sorry to see this! That is one sweet ride and you worked so hard on it. Has to be rebuilt!

That’s such a bummer! I really liked that boat! So sorry for your troubles!

I don’t know you, I’ve never met you, but I’ve been a fan now for many years and have watched the boat build from the very beginning episode and I am absolutely heart broken for you. Money aside, the sheer time and effort that it took to get it rebuilt, new engine package, and back into the water just to have this happen before you really got to enjoy it, absolutely blows!

If you decide to keep it, instead of putting it in storage at a yard like you had, consider getting a used trailer and just putting it in your shop. A trailer will be expensive, but depending on how long you need it, will probably pay for itself over storage at a drydock.

I watch the channel because of the boat build! Have LOVED it from day 1! I hope you can redo it, but totally understand if it's just not in the cards or feasible for ya! A BIG project ahead for her no doubt!!! So sorry she went down, you had her really decked out GR8!

Awww Chris, this sucks monumentally. I have been in the same boat. I had a Thunderbird sailboat that sunk at the dock. My insurance refused to cover anything. We are all behind you on this.

To restore it, you'll need to the inside EVERYTHING must go! Dry it off (sun exposure or mechanic heating). Bring it in the shop and If you do restore it I'll definitely watch.

dammm dude after all that hard work you all put in to this and for this to happen I feel so bad for you and the team

I've been watching since you repaired the Raptor. I started rewatching when you got the boat. I am so sorry you guys are having to deal with this. Best of luck!

I’ve watched the channel from the beginning of the yacht project and I have been so impressed with the time and effort you have put into it. It’s soul crushing watching it sit underwater and watching the countless hours of work go to waste. If you do decide to not scrap the project and choose to rebuild the yacht and need more hands let me know and I’ll drive over i would love to help bring the yacht back again. Thank you for the amazing content and please reach out I’m dead serious I would love to help out in any way possible.

This is heartbreaking. I really hope you can restore it!

I’ve been watching your channel since you bought the boat. As a boat owner, I can feel the struggle that you’re going through. Hope everything turns out ok for you.

I just have to ask - why wasn't the boat winterized back in the fall? But for a few gallons of antifreeze nothing would have happened. Also, keep all of the seacocks closed when not using for extended periods. If you can't close the seacocks take the boat out of the water and fix them. I used to winterize my boats myself and if I couldn't do it I paid to have it done. The engines got water in them so they are toast unless they are pickled as soon as they are taken out of the water. The electric wiring is done because it absorbs water and corrodes. So, basically all you have left is a fiberglass shell that will be sold by the insurance company for peanuts.

So sorry to hear. Following you for 2 years !!

I joined your channel years ago because of the boat build,this is really heartbreaking to see,after all the hard work and upgraded engines and electronics,sometimes Shit happens and life sucks,all the best from Australia.

I’m going to bet on crack somewhere in the exhaust side below the waterline and that the sea cocks were left open. Probably no bilge heater as well. So much to know on big boats, and while Chris and his team are unquestionably brilliant and talented, they are also very inexperienced when it comes to boating and yacht maintenance. Good luck boys! I’m confident you’ll push through and learn a very expensive lesson.

Hope everything turns out ok for you Chris,one thing is for sure though,you have a good team behind you to tackle this problem.

Man, my heart breaks for you. Such a defeating sight to see. Good thing is no one was hurt and boats can be fixed. God bless

Ouch, that hurt to watch. I'm always impressed with how positive you can come across on camera, or even to just be on camera when shit hits the fan. I would guess there was a lot of shouting/cursing on the drive over there. Cheers to you for just pushing forward. Whatever you do with this thing, we're here to support.

How you continually stay positive throughout the entire event really deseves some praise. A shocking incident to have happen but you pushed through. Well done.

Bummer! Good luck! Liked all the boat videos!!!!🍀

i have no idea how you keep your composure through all this stuff but it is commendable

so sorry for this loss Chris, you and the boys with that boat what got me interested in boats in the first place, well things happen hope you will get back from it stronger

Honestly, this was one of the most interesting build series on youtube. It's a beautiful boat. I hope you bring it back

U killed the boat. Great stuff !

So sorry to see this Chris after all of the hard work that has gone into the boat already, must be worth a renovation video!!

Giants face challenges that fit their ability to overcome them. You’ve faced some incredible challenges, and the fact that you face them head on, and not crumble… makes you a giant, my friend! You’re an inspiration!

Well, this shows the balance of life. You ultimately took this one in stride, just as you do when troubleshooting other major repairs/setbacks, but then take joy in the finished product (such as cancer-->chemo-->clean). A further example, in the last video (Murci test drive), you were grinning ear-to-ear, and the viewers were happy with you. This week, we felt your pain. I have watched enough BIFB videos to know you will land. Maybe not squarely on your feet at first, but you WILL land.

Great video! Mike from Missouri

Happy Birthday CHRIS!!!

This is truly devastating. The amount of work and effort that went into this Yacht leaves me speechless. Good luck!!!

I clicked "Like" but I hate that this happened. I loved this boat content, it is what originally brought me to the channel. I hope you win against the insurance company, those guys are crooked as can be.

Broke my heart, absolutely love the boat! It needs to be rebuild. If not by you, I'll buy it from you!

I am amazed and complement you both on your attituded dealing with this situation!

Hey Chris sorry about your yacht, I can't imagine what you're going through. I hope you guys get back on this and the other projects. I enjoy watching all that you guys have been doing. I pray that all the work you and the team keep doing alway reach the stars.

So sorry for you Chris. I started watching B is for Build when you first got this boat, so it is a big part of the channel for me. When I think of all the time, money and headaches this boat has cost you it must be quite a slap in the face. Good luck with the floating and finding the cause. Looking forward to the restoration. I hope that a lot is salvageable!

Happy birthday Chris! Enjoy it despite of the boat sinking

Anything you will decide to do with the boat, good luck man!

Dude so sorry for what happened, it just broke my heart seeing the boat like that. It really hurt deep down inside. I hope you can bring it back to life. 😢😢😢🇨🇦

Happy birthday Chris!!! 🎉 Keep doing your thing. Didn’t see that coming with the boat but life is an adventure right?! One step back ten steps forward let’s goooo

That's one hell of a birthday gift !

B is for Build…… R is for Rescue. I’m sorry for your troubles, but your determination, patience and ingenuity in all of these projects are great learning lessons and do make for great videos.

Prop shaft seal? Maybe. But it’s nice to see you remain optimistic after this. I wouldn’t be able to be on camera.

Sad to see after all your hard work.Love that you were very positive during this difficult time.Hope to be able to see the boat being rebuilt

Bummer man hope you feel better soon 💜 and hope the recovery isn't to bad we've seen worse right piece 👊

Y’all have put so much work into it I’d love to see y’all fix it.

So sorry this happened to you, Chris, and hope you'll be able to get it back to its glorious state. But, even if you don't, the way you approach such tragic events is commendable and I am sure you will be able to get through this, the same way you did before.

oh my god Chris I am so sorry to see this view of the boat. all that amazing hard work and thousands of man hours your team has put into it and now a pressure wash away from a do over... my heart goes out to you. :( Thank you also for mentioning those rescue workers that come and help with peoples boats and bringing it back to the surface.. Chris you are an amazing soul and i wish you good fortune dealing with insurance companies and all your logistics.

Man I liked the boat stuff on your channel.

Man that sucks. Sorry to hear. And happy birthday! Ha. Good luck.

Dude, I have watched for many years, but I really love boats. This one was sad for me. After all the time and work, what a bummer. I don’t doubt that you can get it back better than ever, but man, that is heartbreaking. I’m sorry you have to deal with this. If we can help in any way let me know! Hopefully the viewers can watch and support more than ever.

OH SHIT! Chris, so sorry to see that happen. Can't say I want to buy it from you in this state, but super interested in finding out why it sank, and hopefully watching you rebuild it. Oh, and happy birthday.

Gutted for you. You put so much work into it

Sorry to hear and see. I loved that boat just as much as you.

Commenting for the algorithm, but keep positive guys! Been around since 2015 or 2016 and have enjoyed all of your builds, living through you as I wish I was in your shoes with such a fun and great shop and team you've got.

Wow dude im so sorry, that was a TON of work to get that bad boy driving on the water, if anyone can go through this with a smile. I thinks it's you Chris! good luck with everything in the future

i would hate to see the boat leave. you guys have done a great job on it.

I feel your pain. I lost a boat in 2018 when the entire marina was destroyed by a storm. Like you, I had a battle with insurers. In the end they paid out. I left the sea behind but now live on a boat on the inland waterways. When it first happened I doubted I'd get a boat agajn, but time heals and you can build from the ashes. I wish you well 🙏

You gotta revive it. Best build series on KZfaq.

So sad, all the best Chris! Hope this will work out well for you ❤

Had to watch again.. I hope it's a ez fix and not much got destroyed, we all know how much you like the boat and we like it as well.. Very sad.. All that time and money into it.. I wish nothing but good vibes for you and your team.. Stay safe..

Happy birthday what a crazy gift. Despite what happened maybe its a gift of a new build.

That really sucks . Wish you all the best man !!! ✊

My heart breaks seeing this, knowing how much time and effort you put into fixing the boat, engines, all those blood sweat and tears. 😥As a boat owner myself, you always fear something like this could happen

I would totally watch a rebuild or a new boat build :)

My heart literally sank when i saw the thumbnail. I used to have nightmares about finding my own boat sunk in the slip.

Condolences Chris. Will continue watching in hopes to see a recovery of sorts.

Sad way to start your birthday man. I wasn't as invested in the boat as other projects but still definitely sucks to see all that hard work gone to waste. Here's hoping you can recover or repair as much as possible. Best of luck, BIFB team! And I hope you had a better rest of your birthday week.

Hope you get some good luck soon mate!

Having a boat looks like a lot of fun.

Sadly, hats off for not click baiting us. It did actually sink! Good luck on getting it ship shape and orderly again. No clickbait means even at your lowest points you are still a man of tremendous integrity.

I know I'm just a stranger to you, but I feel strangely invested in your life story, having followed you for all of these years. Once again, I have to admire your on-screen attitude about these sorts of things. I hope you had a complete melt-down off-camera. I know I would. Such a shame, all of that hard work. I wish you the best and look forward to seeing how this evolves.

OMG. I feel so bad for you. Watched the process of building. Best of luck.

Happy Belated Trip Around the Sun🎂. Best to you Scott 🏁 Sorry about the boat and good luck in the War with the Evil Empire.

Holy crap man! My stomach sank when I started watching and realized it wasn't click bait. THAT SUCKS!!! Looking forward to seeing what caused it and what the plans are. I vote rebuild. Get it hauled to the shop and go to town on it. I'm sure that'll be cheaper in the long run compared to a dry dock.

My brother has a boat at another marina over by Jentzen beach and they had many sink over there too! Props to the rescue guys helping out in the rough weather. So…. More boat content?

I Loved what you did to this boat, my Heath is Full of Grief for you.

Low key, I’m happy for him. That’s free content 😂

I worked at a marina for many years when I was younger and helped with 99% of the sunken boat recoveries. I loved doing it. It was always an adventure!

Very sorry to hear this! I believe it's time to let it go, it's kind of been a fight the whole time.

dude that boat is cursed! LOL, you need to sell that thing. whatever you do I will be watching.

i started watching u since 5k subs its crazyy lol hope everything goes well

That sucks I'm guessing you didn't winterize the boat

I’m so sorry this happened , if the insurance is being ignorant and not helping the way they should I strongly recommend trying to salvage the new LS motors and maybe putting them on a new to you boat one that’s not going to sink and has better stability, even if you do fix it there’s no guarantee it won’t sink again :( your positivity is truly inspiring you’re a great man.

Happy Birthday Chris

This was actually quite exciting
